Cross the intersection onto the gravel road between two stone walls and continue uphill. In 800m cross an asphalt road and continue straight, enjoying the views of mountains and vineyards. Cross the highway in a couple hundred meters and continue uphill on the gravel vineyard road on the other side.

In 700m the vineyard road turns right toward a cemetery. Follow it 50m to the first wall of the cemetery, then turn left and follow the wall to the cemetery’s driveway. Turn left here and continue 100m to the highway. At the highway turn right, going uphill into the village of Diacceto (6km). The bar on the left side at the turnoff for Pelago is the last place for services until the end of the day’s walk.

San Pietro Ferrano is visible for several kilometers along the forested mountainside

Continue uphill 400m on the highway to the turnoff for Ferrano. Turn right here to follow this forested, quiet and fairly level asphalt road for 4.3km until it turns to gravel. Soon, dramatic vistas of the forests and mountains around Pelago become visible, and a castle-like villa and the pointed, yellow tower of Chiesa San Pietro in Ferrano can be seen to the right.
